Copenhagen will host Manchester United at Parken on Wednesday in another round of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League group stage campaign.
The home side kicked off their continental campaign with a 2-2 draw against Galatasaray before losing 2-1 to Bayern Munich in their second game. They were beaten 1-0 by the Red Devils last time out and had a chance to level the scores at the death with a penalty kick which Jordan Larsson squandered.
Copenhagen sit rock-bottom in Group A with just one point picked up so far. They are two points behind their midweek opponents in third place and will leapfrog them with a win on Wednesday.
Manchester United have endured a highly turbulent campaign on and off the pitch this season with pressure now mounting on manager Erik ten Hag. After suffering defeats to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray in their first two group games, the English side picked up their first win of the tournament on matchday three with an unconvincing 1-0 victory over their midweek opponents featuring a penalty save from goalkeeper Andre Onana in additional time.
